VITAMIN E Vitamin E is a powerful vitamin and antioxidant that circulates in the blood and destroys free radicals. It also prevents damage to cell membranes, thereby reducing the risk of heart disease and cancer. Furthermore, vitamin E keeps LDL (bad) cholesterol from becoming oxidized LDL which leads to the buildup of arterial plaque and can lead to heart disease. Vitamin E improves circulation, is necessary for tissue repair and is useful in treating premenstrual syndrome and fibrocystic disease of the breast.

Recent studies indicate that vitamin E seems to ease the pain and swelling of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, to bolster the immune system, and may even help to slow the progress of Parkinson?s disease. As an antioxidant, vitamin E prevents cell damage by inhibiting the oxidation of lipids (fats) and the formation of free radicals. It protects other fat-soluble vitamins from destruction by oxygen, and aids in the utilization of vitamin A and protects if from destruction by oxygen.

Signs of deficiency can include infertility (in both men and women), menstrual problems, neuromuscular impairment, shortened red blood cell life span, spontaneous abortion (miscarriage), and uterine degeneration. Low levels of vitamin E in the body have been linked to both bowel cancer and breast cancer.
